HEATING AND COOKiNG APPARATUS.

SPECIFCATION forming part of Letters latent No. 419,485, dated January 14, 1890.

Application filed March 30, 1889. Serial No. 305,471. (No model.)

To @ZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN E. .VILBUR, of Rochester, in the county of Monroe and State ot' New York, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Heating and Cooking Apparatus; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the drawings accompanying this application.

My improvement relates to heaters and cookers in which the fuel employed is kerosene-oil, and in general construction it isl similar to that patented by me May S, i888, No. 382,579.

The invention consists in the combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter described and claimed.

In the drawings, Figure l is a front elevation of the apparatus. Figs. 2 and 3 are enlarged cross-sections of the radiator, respectively, in lines a' c and y y or" Fig. l. Fig. it is a plan view of the cooking apparatus. Fig. 5 is a cross-section of the saine in line ,e ,e of Fig.. 4. Fig. G is a plan view o't' the packing disk removed from place. n

A indicates the base, which is a pedestal ot' any ornamental form.

B B are standards `on each side, which support the structure above the base.

O is the table constituting' the heating and cooking apparatus, the same resting ou the standards.

D D are two upright radiators on the table, and D is an arched radiator on top of the two side radiators and spanning the space between them. Each of these radiators is square in cross-section, and is provided vwith a series of cross-tubes a a, which are arranged in rows, as shown, the same alternating or breaking joints. They-are open-ended and allow the air to pass through from side to side, thus promoting circulation of the air in the room and increasing the heating-power.

E is an exit-pipe extending from the upper radiator to a chimney for carrying off the products of combustion and preventing obnoxious odors. Y

G G are lamps, of any suitable kind, placed on the base A, the chimneys h b thereof entering tubes c c on the under side of the table.

heated.

The air passing through the lamps into the chimnes, becoming heated, enters the radiators and produces the desired heat.

Figs. 4, 5, and 6 show the apparatus for cooking. The table O in this case is provided with the usual boiler-holes (l (l, over which the cooking utensils are placed. Fig. 4 shows one of the covers in place and the other removed. The table is constructed with two plates, leaving a fine-space f between them leading to Athe exit-pipe, and the tube c forms a part of the lower plate, as shown in Fig. 5.

' The cooking apparatus can be used either with o'r without the radiators before described. In case it is used without them, flue-covers D2 D2, Fig. 5, are employed, covering the radiator-openings in the upper plate, and the exitpipe E connects directly with these covers. The covers are convenient in use, as they are nat-topped and form convenient supports for articles used in cooking'.

Il is a circular packing-disk made of thin metal and resting loosely in the tube c. The disk is cut with a circular hole h, eccentrically near one side, said hole receiving the top of the lamp-chimn ey l), which rests loosely therein. The disk is loose enough to rise and fall in the tube c, thereby enabling the lamp to be raised and lowered to seat or remove it on or rom the base A, and when said lamp is seated and in place for operation the packingring Il falls in the tube c and makes a tight packing', which prevents air passing up outside the lamp. All the air is forced to pass up through the lamp, thereby becoming highly There is a tube c and. packing-disk H for each of the boiler-holes CZ. One special advantage of this construction is that the lamp is adjustable in position to bring it direct-ly under the boiler-hole of the stove, as shown in full lines, Fig. 5, or away from the boiler-hole and nearer to the escape-flue, as shown by the dotted lines indicating the chimney in the same figure. This is accomplished simply by turning the packing-disk II axially, 95

so as to bring its eccentric chimney-hole h on one side or the other of the-tube c. The advantage of this arrangement is that it enables the heat to be graded or regulated under the boiler-hole exactly as desired, and also furroo nishes a more direct passage to the exit-pipe when the cooking apparatus is not in use.

The above description is of a stove havingr two lamps. It may be made to use a single lamp, or more than two.

Then the cookingr apparatus is not in use, the lamp is turned so as to throw the heat directly into the radiators.

' Having' described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
